Sarah's actions
Community
Help Others
I will offer to help 1 person(s) who are in need each day.
Transportation
Conduct Virtual Meetings
I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.
Nature
Go for a Daily Walk
I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.
Waste
Use a Reusable Mug
I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Skip the StrawHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Sarah Voets 10/05/2018 8:57 AMWhen my husband and I dine out, we always ask to not have straws in our beverages. While we are just two people making this simple change, we know it's a step in the right direction and one that helps make a positive impact on our environment. -
Sarah Voets 10/03/2018 8:54 AMI have three main reusable water bottles in my life; one at home next to my bed, one in my car, and one at work. While some complain that refilling and washing them between uses is a pain, it's a habit that was easy to create and maintain, especially knowing the positive impact it would have on reducing waste.
